wealthy and powerful individuals are in fact more likely than anyone to experience contentment, since they have such a wide social circle open to them, and are likely to encounter people who want to impress or get to know them.

You read into it what you want Sir Charles Dickens, but that was not my insinuation at all. Again, you mistake having social acquaintances with having
substantive social support systems. Think, people you'd invite to be pallbearers at your mothers' funeral kind of substantive. There is a world of difference between schmoozing and social support. I'd argue that yes, especially in the TMZ world, that the wealthy and elite people have hard team building sincere relationships with
people.
